Exempt

Famous quotes containing the word exempt:

    There is nothing exempt from the peril of mutation; the earth, heavens, and whole world is thereunto subject.
    Sir Walter Raleigh (1552–1618)

    But grant, the virtues of a temp’rate prime
    Bless with an age exempt from scorn or crime;
    An age that melts with unperceived decay,
    And glides in modest Innocence away;
    Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)

    Theoretically, I grant you, there is no possibility of error in necessary reasoning. But to speak thus “theoretically,” is to use language in a Pickwickian sense. In practice, and in fact, mathematics is not exempt from that liability to error that affects everything that man does.
    Charles Sanders Peirce (1839–1914)
